80's Themed Nail Art

I haven't been able to post that much recently, I have been super busy planning a surprise birthday party for my husbands 30th. 

As you can probably guess from the picture it was an 80's themed party. 

Well the party was last saturday and now you all have my undivided attention! I will hopefully get back into the swing of posting nearly every day :) 

I just had to use my new bold Essie polishes for this mani, I used Essie's Lights, Essie's Butler Please and BarryMs Lemon Ice Cream. 

I used Cheeky plate CH51 from the summer 2012 collection and Konad Special polish in Black. 

I hope you enjoy this bright mani and i hope you all haven't missed me tooooo much ;p 

Essie Lights with Glitter

Here is Essie Lights!

A beautiful bright pink. Its a creamy type of neon, and its bloody beautiful!

I think I would have used this whole bottle up by the end of summer. Its probably the brightest shade I own. Its not like a really eye burning neon but more of a creamy bold colour.

The formula is lush and is opaque in two thin coats.

The glitter is Guilty Pleasure  by InVogue.

I simply used a sponge to fade the glitter out.

What do you think of bright colours? What are your fave summer shades?

Essie Haul from Direct Cosmetics

 

I have been a bit silent on the blogging recently, sorry :(

 

I bought these at +Direct Cosmetics Ltd about a week ago and I've only just had time to have a play with them :(

 

These were a bargain at £2.99 each!

As you all probably know by now is Essie is my favourite brand, with their wide brushes and wide range of colours.

 

The colours I purchased are

(top L-R) Lights, Sweet Talker, Butler Please, Where's My Chauffeur,

 (bottom L-R) She's Pampered, A Crewed Interest and To Buy or Not To Buy

 

 this was the first time I have used Direct Cosmetics and on the whole they are a good company. What I didn't like was that I had to pay a surcharge to use Paypal. It is understandable though as they would have to pay fees to Paypal themselves.
